Quoted from Bowlingpin:Beer is good
That Waldo's Special Ale is my favorite beer ever...turned me into a double IPA fan forever. I have 4 left and its time to stop hoarding them so in the fridge they go for the holiday weekend.
Also Little Sumpin Extra tastes like a 'little Waldos' to me, very similar flavor profile but not as intense. Great substitute till next April.
Quoted from High_End_Pins:Hard to beat the overall value in this one. $12 and it tastes like it should be $20
Excellent beer, and these are only 9$ or so a bomber at Costco...
Quoted from High_End_Pins:I am heading back to 2013.
It was a lousy year for me. My old trusty shop truck blew up,someone bought my old shop and canceled the lease(didn’t give a renewal option after 8 years there), my older brother died unexpectedly at 43,my youngest son was hospitalized and diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes.All in that order !
Anyway I plan on erasing that year every chance I get so I am starting here but there is a long ways to go
Dude sorry to hear all this, we need to dip into my cellar for the beers I'd offer you for dealing with all that bad mojo.
The Mayan Mocha is brewed with coffee nutmeg chocolate and habanero peppers. I always keep some stocked. They make a bourbon barrel aged version...haven't seen that one in a long time but found Imperial Mayan just this week which I'm eager to try. That BBA Old Stock looks fantastic... i've only starting cellaring beers this year so have not had the chance to appreciate what a few years age can do.
Quoted from Irishbastard:My dealer had my fix a few weeks ago, Still enjoying it
Lucky !! Sure wish I could get some of that here. Maybe it's possible but I've not seen it.
Quoted from PhilC:This is one of those beers that seems like it would age well, but unfortunately it does not. It is one of my favorite seasonal releases, but honestly it gains nothing in the cellar, and lost the sharp edges that I enjoyed when it was fresh. No need to keep your hands off, save some bourbon county instead, that needs some time to mellow out!
That's good to know, thank you for telling me. All Backwoods Bastards, into the beer fridge!
I have this years 29th edition put away, have not had it before but supposed to be great stuff.
Hey I found some OLD STOCK ALE 2016 so will be giving that a try soon...
Quoted from High_End_Pins:Going with this tonight.
How is the CBS tasting? I never did have that flite I mentioned a few posts back. I am going to a CBS keg opening 10am Saturday, supposed to have all the BBA releases on tap, woohoo!
Quoted from FuryosJustin:I like beer. Here's a new favorite from upper hutt, new Zealand
Boneface hoptron APA
How 'bout a picture of that ride?
Quoted from FuryosJustin:no problem, that our 67 Plymouth fury, owned for 17years, quite a bit of custom. stroked mopar big block out to 468ci. nearly all built by me and my mrs and a few mates.
couple of glamor shots from a magazine spread bout 5 years ago
Well that car is super cool, looks like you could sleep comfortably in it. Awesome, thanks for posting!!
Quoted from Irishbastard:Tried this shelfie tonight...Holy F! 12% Not bad...
I really like that one, have a couple 4 packs myself.
Quoted from High_End_Pins:Been sitting on this one a while. My favorite scotch ale.
This looks fantastic!!
Quoted from High_End_Pins:It’s what I like to call Little Friday some still just considered it Thursday night though.
You must have been cellaring beers for some years now, your variety of vintage beers to drink is crazy.
Quoted from mcluvin:Did ya mix it with something? Maybe OJ? Never seen an IPA that color.
That's straight out of the can, a New England double IPA. M43 is the regular NEIPA they make and is also great. Hazy is the style.
Quoted from Irishbastard:Looks normal to me, looks like a "Juicy" DIPA...Yummy
It is super juicy, really amazing.
Yes that one looks really interesting, they make great barrel aged beers. Haven't had that one but it's on my radar now.
Quoted from SNES:Went to the release party this year at the Detroit location. Worked out great!
Well since we're showing off!! I just hit my local spots last week, did pretty good I think.
Quoted from jgentry:How is this years KBS tasting? Any news on a CBS release?
I think it is more chocolate forward than last year, hard to recall exactly. I have one bottle from last year and plan to do a side by side comparison.
Quoted from jgentry:Release day in TN. Also found a few CBS bombers hidden behind some other bottles.
Wow, nice haul!
Quoted from ultimategameroom:Picked up two cases of Waldo yesterday.
Awesome. I have two cases as well, although I gathered it from multiple places. I can almost have one a week till next April, but they won't be lasting that long.
Quoted from mcluvin:I almost picked up some of this Friday. Reading the reviews, it just doesn't sound good to me. Couldn't do it.
remove your avatar now!! just kidding, but really dude if you like Lagunitas at all the Waldos is as good as it gets, period.
Quoted from mcluvin:Ha! I like to read the Beer Advocate reviews and the term "dank" came up a little too often. I guess it was meant in a good way, but it just didn't sound good to me Maybe I'll grab some next time if they still have it.
If you have had Little Sumpin' Extra, that is very similar flavor profile, for me, just more of it. Plenty of sweetness to balance the hops. Everybodys palate and likes are different but at this price you can't go wrong.
Quoted from Bowlingpin:So damn good, better than last years born again..
Just finished my last one from last year, lol. Guess i will look for a twelver.
It is...dank resinous hops...Waldos is nice and dank...Dankwood not really. Founders Redankulous is much more 'dank'.
Quoted from PinballJeff:You're right - it was Swillie that commented that it "could" last year at one a week. I'm sure that won't be the case. I've had some IPA's that I haven't noticed much change with age, but this one definitely fell off.
No, no it wont...about 15 gone already 
i am in agreement, drink these while they are fresh. Wish they made them all year but too good to horde.
Quoted from Irishbastard:Mule came through.... Nothing like the OG of NEDIPA's....
Oh c'mon !!
Quoted from mcluvin:Yeah. Funny how different microbrews all come in the same kinda packaging now. Kudos to Heineken though. That is some nasty f'n beer, but they've owned Lagunitas for about a year now and haven't f'd it up as far as I can tell. Truthfully, I think distribution has gotten better.
I agree, same great beer and from what I have seen just more of it.
Quoted from High_End_Pins:First time having this one.
Usually not an IPA guy but the Rum Barrels seemed to have added a little sweetness and turned down the hops.
[quoted image]
Very different, tastes a bit like tequila in that one...wasn't thrilled with it at first taste but ended up really enjoying the four pack.
Quoted from High_End_Pins:Damn. I don’t think you could have fit another drop in that glass.
Seeing plenty of this 2018 release around here so far.
Seems a little smoother than last years.
[quoted image]
That's a 12oz glass exactly. The Backwoods is nice and now that it is brewed year round is going to be easy to keep stocked. I am still going thru last years release, will have to try the new one side by side with it.
Quoted from mcluvin:Found these at Costco. $30 for 24 pounders. Dirt cheap for Sweetwater. I think I should be good for the long weekend
[quoted image]
Never tried any of these but yeah can't go too wrong at that price. Thanks
Quoted from Irishbastard:Do these age well? I may have a few that have been in my fridge long enough to go to preschool..
From what I have read this one is best to drink fresh. I finished mine from last years batch about 6 months old and flavors had dropped off a bit but was still pretty good. So I plan to drink them in the now.
Quoted from High_End_Pins:Now that my oldest son has gotten into beer I can finally enjoy a flight set up at home.
Set these up in order of ABV[quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]
Did you make that flight rack? I like that alot!
So i’m sipping my first (2019) BCBS...it is very smooth...almost too smooth? Had a 2016 Bells expedition stout recently, much more standout flavor, amazing. This BCBS is comparatively underwhelming.
